Saponificio Varesino Manna Di Sicilia Shaving Soap (Beta 4.3 formula) 150g

This triple milled hard soap is based on Saponificio Varesino’s tried and tested Beta 4.3 formular.

It contains a high percentage of Manna, coming from the Park of Madonie in Sicily. The place is situated between the towns of Castelbuono and Pollina. Manna derives from the incision made onto the Ash tree and it has a rich composition of active substance. But the best feature that you will love is the skin softness and the confort sense in your post shaving.

The soap formula is so rich in natural active ingredients, with the following properties: softening, emollient, moisturizing, regenerating of the skin barrier, firming, lubricating, soothing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, toning.

Best used with a shaving brush.

Scent:

The slightly citrusy top notes of bergamot and orange are well balanced by aromatic notes of sage and traces of fenugreek, a prelude to a warm body note with a slight hint of honey that gives a hint of tobacco and spices, softened by floral traces of jasmine and geranium leaves.
The base note is woody and amber of patchouli, cedar wood, benzoin resin and guaico wood to make the memory of the perfume warmer and more full-bodied.

Usage advice

Saponificio Varesino formulations contain active ingredients that, in order to give the best perfomance, need to solubilize and/or melt. The maximum performance can be obtained in this way:

• cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for a few minutes. The quantity of water needed may vary depending on your water hardness and the rate of humidity of the soap, a correct quantity is when the whole soap surface is covered by water,
• soak a badger shaving brush (being it the best performer when it comes to water absorbing),
  
• rinse it well and then pour the thin veil of water that bloomed the soap on the knot, and then start loading (20-30 seconds),
  
• face/bowl lather without adding water.
